Claude

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, loved for thoughtful long-form writing, analysis and clean code with a large context window.

A great choice when you paste long documents or whole codebases.

Claude is at its best on long, careful work: reading a lengthy contract or report and answering questions about it, reviewing a large piece of code, restructuring a long draft without losing its argument. It tends to write in a more natural register than many assistants and is comfortable saying when a question is ambiguous.

Its free usage runs out sooner than some competitors', and it has fewer consumer extras — less in the way of built-in image generation or India-specific integrations. Like every model, it can agree with a wrong premise if you state it confidently, so ask it to check your claim rather than confirm it.

For quick everyday questions with images and voice in one app, ChatGPT or Gemini is more convenient. For cited web research, Perplexity is the better fit.
